A peaceful spot on Lake Erie in Avon Lake. We frequently stop at the nearby McDonalds for breakfast sandwiches of a Sunday morning and take them to Veterans Park to enjoy the lake view and the activities around us. Swimmers practice their skills under the eyes of watchful parents, the Sunday yoga group is well attended. After eating, we stroll around the park before heading home. A delightful start to a sometimes hectic day!
Avon Lakes Veterans Memorial Park is a pleasant little - emphasis on little - public access spot to an equally small patch of Lake Erie beach.Perched on a low cliff, which offers a panoramic view of the lake, the parks one drawback is its postage-stamp size - the public area is scarce 100 yards along the cliff, with parking for only perhaps two-dozen vehicles.It does feature a large, old house that serves as city park headquarters and provides limited group meeting space in non-COVID times.It is an attractive, if tiny place, but geared mostly to residents who live close enough to walk or bike to its confines.A much better spot for out-of-area visitors is the spacious Huntington Beach, five miles to the east along the same Lake Road in Bay VillageVeterans is lovely and well-appointed, just too small to allow distancing.
Nice but very small. Pretty much a look at the lake only area. A few nice benches and clean area.
I think its a little nicer than the Bay Beach Crocker Park
Nice park in high class neighborhood Avon Lake on the shores of Lake Erie Great place for a picnic or walk.
Clean, well maintained. There is NOT a beach. A grassy lawn which has stairs going into the water.Breaker walls are close enough together to inhibit lengthier swims (a la Huntington Beach).
Peaceful place to sit on the benches and just enjoy the beautiful sun setting over Lake Erie. It was so pleasant there this evening that there was a Tae Kwon Do class and a yoga class going on, people eating out at the picnic tables, biking and walking.
Pretty lakefront. Well kept. New, clean, warm restrooms.
Grow up there in the summer when I was a kid, everyday for years the lake
Great local city park. Great views of the lake, lots of benches and picnic tables spread out to enjoy the fabulous view of Lake Erie. Small beach with swimming permitted. No life guard.
Excellent set up for Santa visit
Veterans Memorial Park is a great place for swimming, walks, and parties too. Theres a beautiful lake view and even a party building .
Absolutely wonderful place to go with friends and family. Picnics are great.
The place is nice and relaxing but some of the stuff has cobwebs on it and some scratches. If it was a little more clean I would give it a 5/5
Great place to relax or take a dive in the water. Also put a kayak or paddle board in
Breathtakingly beautiful view of Lake Erie...pristine park with benches& picnic tables Beach is clean no lifeguard due to covid
Absolutely beautiful! Definitely going to go back!! Water is so blue and clear!
Small park where you can just take a break from the busyness of life
Fairly small park with little parking but perfect for viewing the sunset or having a picnic in the grass.
The Lake is refreshing, the park is struggling, we need sand and maybe a break wall, I care as a teen in the 70,s I had mowed,cleaned trimmed the park. I am now 59. Thanks, still home.
Lovely location for photos and to sit by the water.
Beautiful place to eat lunch
Beautiful place to watch a sunset.
Beautiful to visit love walking around n looking how beautiful it is
Great view of the lake. Very quiet.
Beautiful sunset. Nice and clean park.
Beautiful, not a beach anymore!
Who doesnt love the pounding of the waves on a beautiful clear day? This park is so nice as you dont have to walk across grass, sand, or rocks to get to a bench. The lake view is just magnificent!!
Peaceful and relaxing watching the boats on the lake
Great place to watch the sun set
Had a good walk for scenery
Nice park by the lake.
Gorgeous park! Came for Avon Summer Flea and stayed for an amazing sunset. Beautiful views
A very small but beautiful park. There is plenty of seating and the views are gorgeous.
I walk my dog here almost every evening. I opposed the construction of a gazebo in the middle of the park because it would ruin the view of the lake. The new gazebo is tucked out of the way. It is smaller than originally planned, so doesnt obstruct the view of the lake very much.
Quaint park with a boardwalk and great sunsets over Lake Erie. Rocking chairs and ice cream for evening sunset chats with friends. Clean rest rooms and a nice party center.
Beautiful day. Beautiful lake. It was gorgeous out there. Cooler with the breeze off the lake. Some of the boards were warped. Could be a tripping hazard. All in all it was a pleasant experience.
Hidden gem. Kids love it!
Small and neat with great lake views
Beautiful and peaceful.
I had a terrific morning with 3 sisters yoga today. It was beautiful and peaceful. I didnt want to leave.
A great place to see the sunset. Best sunset view in Avon lake .
A nice park
A small, wonderful walkway park right above the coastline with a breeze, view ...and the only other people I walked by smiled and said Good morning to me
Beautiful spot
Not much beach right now because of the level of Lake Erie! A beautiful park! Plenty of places to sit and enjoy!
Awesome place they sponsored a Native mini Pow Wow turned out to be great, Thank You for your for all your help
Nice view
Love the scenery and being near the water. Clean and was an enjoyable afternoon.
Summer Beach Market 2019
It is a nice spot to stop and look at Lake Erie. There is a spot to wade and swim. There is also a nice memorial that is a tribute to many who have served.
Great views of Lake Erie. Sunsets are always spectacular. Rocking chairs and benches. Easy access.
Pretty :]
What a delightful park
Love the sun set
Beautiful place.
Great place for a sunset walk with your date. Come early for the rocking chairs.
Went to a graduation party here and what a great place for a gathering. Plenty of room and gorgeous views!
YOGA with 3 Sisters! Thank You for making it A Great Start to Our Day !
So beautiful
Nice place to have a picnic with your loved one and watch the lake
Such a lovely... Quiet place on lake Erie
Beautiful morning on the lake!
Peaceful, beautiful place
Beautiful park! I went for the Rock the Lake festival where I saw some interesting large pieces of furniture and other items to decorate a home. It was a gorgeous and worth the trip even though I purchased nothing.
Beautiful scenery..not many people..not really a park for getting close to the beach because the beach is very narrow and not really meant for people to walk on.
It was a quaint, clean park. Beautiful day for a picnic with my in-laws
Very nice memorial and park. Looking forward to seeing it once everything is in bloom.
Peaceful and relaxing. Great view of Lake Erie.
Popular now in the summer for sunsets but not so much through past years. Only minutes from my house, been visiting for 30 years. Frozen lake in the winter is awesome too.
Its an ok park for the less active people. Dont waste your time if you are looking for a place to get a good walk in. The path isnt very long, the beach is scant, and the sidewalk runs out.The sunset is pretty, but there isnt a great vantage point to get a proper view.
Love the peacefulness...the life guards are a little overbearing!!
Nice & Clean. Great parking.
Small but beautiful park
One of the best places to watch the sunset
Found this place while out geocaching I highly recommend geocaching it will bring you to neat places like this that you never knew was even around!
Beautiful park with breathtaking views of the lake.
I love this park! I do yoga and have yoga classes there every summer. Im glad they built extra bathroom facility. Great place that doesnt always get too crowded and great for watching sunsets.
Very relaxing
Good park to look at the lake
Very peaceful and beautiful & there where chairs & rocking chairs to seat
Wonderful for unwinding. So relaxing.
Very nice!
